Witkowski A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2010 ABSTRACT “JUSTICE WITHOUT PARTIALITY”: WOMEN AND THE LAW IN COLONIAL MARYLAND, 1648-1715 Monica C. Witkowski Marquette University, 2010 What was the legal status of women in early colonial Maryland? This is the central question answered by this dissertation. Women, as exemplified through a series of case studies, understood the law and interacted with the nascent Maryland legal system. Each of the cases in the following chapters is slightly different. Each case examined in this dissertation illustrates how much independent legal agency women in the colony demonstrated. Throughout the seventeenth century, Maryland women appeared before the colony’s Provincial and county courts as witnesses, plaintiffs, defendants, and attorneys in criminal and civil trials. Women further entered their personal cattle marks, claimed land, and sued other colonists. This study asserts that they improved their social standing through these interactions with the courts. By exerting this much legal knowledge, they created an important place for themselves in Maryland society. Historians have begun to question the interpretation that Southern women were restricted to the home as housewives and mothers. -
Chesapeake Bay and the Restoration Colonies by 1700, the Virginia Colonists Had Made Their Fortunes Primari
9/24: Lecture Notes: Chesapeake Bay and the Restoration Colonies By 1700, the Virginia colonists had made their fortunes primarily through the cultivation of tobacco, setting a pattern that was followed in territories known as Maryland and the Carolinas. Regarding politics and religion: by 1700 Virginia and Maryland, known as the Chesapeake Colonies, differed considerably from the New England colonies. [Official names: Colony and Dominion of Virginia (later the Commonwealth of Virginia) and the Province of Maryland] The Church of England was the established church in Virginia, which meant taxpayers paid for the support of the Church whether or not they were Anglicans. We see a lower degree of Puritan influence in these colonies, but as I have mentioned in class previously, even the term “Puritan” begins to mean something else by 1700. In the Chesapeake, Church membership ultimately mattered little, since a lack of clergymen and few churches kept many Virginians from attending church on a regular basis, or with a level of frequency seen in England. Attending church thus was of somewhat secondary importance in the Virginia colony and throughout the Chesapeake region, at least when compared to the Massachusetts region. Virginia's colonial government structure resembled that of England's county courts, and contrasted with the somewhat theocratic government of Massachusetts Bay and other New England colonies. And again, they are Theocratic – a government based on religion. Now even though they did not attend church as regularly as those living in England, this does not mean that religion did not play a very important role in their lives. -

We’ve seen wonderful examples of that over the past six months that suggest the kind of organization we strive to be. This summer we hosted the Magna Carta exhibition in the Library’s 2nd floor reading room. The exhibition provided an opportunity to reflect both on our founding principles, and the OFFICERS work that remains to be done to achieve them. As part of our initiative, Danielle Conway, Preston R. Miller, Chair the new dean of the University of Maine School of Law, gave a remarkable talk that placed Joseph E.

Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies
Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies BY BABETTE M. LEVY Preface NE of the pleasant by-products of doing research O work is the realization of how generously help has been given when it was needed. The author owes much to many people who proved their interest in this attempt to see America's past a little more clearly. The Institute of Early American History and Culture gave two grants that enabled me to devote a sabbatical leave and a summer to direct searching of colony and church records. Librarians and archivists have been cooperative beyond the call of regular duty. Not a few scholars have read the study in whole or part to give me the benefit of their knowledge and judgment. I must mention among them Professor Josephine W, Bennett of the Hunter College English Department; Miss Madge McLain, formerly of the Hunter College Classics Department; the late Dr. William W. Rockwell, Librarian Emeritus of Union Theological Seminary, whose vast scholarship and his willingness to share it will remain with all who knew him as long as they have memories; Professor Matthew Spinka of the Hartford Theological Sem- inary; and my mother, who did not allow illness to keep her from listening attentively and critically as I read to her chapter after chapter. All students who are interested 7O AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY in problems concerning the early churches along the Atlantic seaboard and the occupants of their pulpits are indebted to the labors of Dr. Frederick Lewis Weis and his invaluable compendiums on the clergymen and parishes of the various colonies. -

Maryland Law Review VOLUME XII SPRING, 1951 NUMBER 2 THE ESTABLISHMENT OF LEGISLATIVE POWER IN MARYLAND By CAM. N. EVaErn* The General Assembly of Maryland first convened in 1635, less than a year after the settlement at St. Mary's. It began then a notable record of self-government for the colony and State of Maryland, making over the succeeding centuries a solid contribution to the prestige of the legisla- tive process. There would have been no compelling reason in the early seventeenth century to suppose that the Maryland General Assembly would be a successful venture in repre- sentative government. The art of popular government had been evolving slowly for a number of centuries in England, yet by 1634 its development was only rudimentary. Legisla- tive power was still a negative force; the drive and initiative in government remained with the executive, as vested in the monarchy. -

The New World figured as a holy land for Calvinists and evangelicals, from Richard Hakluyt to Oliver Cromwell. Colonial schemes from the Providence Island expedition of 1631 to the 1655 Western Design were proclaimed as strikes upon the Roman-Iberian Babylon in its garrisoned treasure- house.1 Until well into the eighteenth century, overseas conquests were retailed as the providential tokens of an elect nation—an expanding domain that considered itself, in David Armitage’s words, to be “Protestant, commercial, maritime and free.”2 This ideology formed Gabriel Glickman is a Lecturer in History at Cambridge University.
